Musically Hitched MoRey Entertainment

Darwin Hobbs is one of the most respected and sought after recording artists and Worship Pastors in Gospel music. His inimitable, supple tenor (often compared with the great Luther Vandross) has provided a rich backdrop to hundreds of recordings by artists including Michael W. Smith, Jars of Clay, Amy Grant, Michael Card, Bebe and Cece Winans, Donnie McClurkin, Michael McDonald, Donna Summer, Chris Tomlin, and countless others.
 
In the late 90s, Darwin Hobbs was signed to EMI Gospel Records (now Motown Gospel). He released seven solo albums, each solidifying his status as a “singer’s singer”. After leaving EMI, Hobbs released Champion: Live through a joint venture deal with Universal Music. That album won a Stellar Gospel Music Award for Praise & Worship CD of the Year. Most recently, Hobbs and wife Traci launched HeartArt Worship, an independent label and partnered with Fairtrade Gospel and Tyscot Records to release his latest single “Get Ready”.
 
He has served as Worship Pastor and/or Creative Director at some of the country's largest, most progressive churches. Currently, Hobbs currently serves as the Worship Pastor at the 38,000 member Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn, NY under the leadership of Dr. A.R. Bernard.
 
In his first-ever podcast interview, Hobbs shares the inside scoop with host Zack Reynolds, Jr. about:
 
- His rise to musical stardom from his hometown of Cincinnati even though he didn't want to be a singer 
- His greatest lessons learned from failure and how to overcome personal and professional setbacks
- The lucrative side of session work in the Nashville music scene and the  Advertising Industry
- The Power of Relationships and how they produce longevity 
- What he would do if he had to start over today

In this exclusive sit-down (and first-ever podcast interview) with drummer extraordinaire Jerrod "J-Rod" Sullivan, we dive into the mindset and secrets to success of one of the industry's most in-demand drummers and prolific content creators. 
In 2006, J-Rod uploaded his first Youtube video, and the reactions confirmed what he knew all along, his musical talent would be used as a gift to educate and inspire others. As a social media influencer with a growing community of 700K+ followers, he is a model for how to grown your online presence as a creative. 
An alumnus of the Atlanta Institute of Music, J-Rod is the current drummer for The 4 Korners, Jeffrey Osborne, & Avery Sunshine, and has performed alongside musical artists such as Bebe Winans, Smokey Robinson, Chantae Moore, Johnny Gill, Kenny Latimore, and Byron Cage. In addition, he’s made television appearances on Being Mary Jane (BET), SingleLadies (VH1), Greenleaf (OWN), American Soul (BET), Dynasty (CBS), and BET HER. As the founder and owner of the style-centered streetwear brand "Got Pocket?", he has united musicians in over 25 countries. His style, method, and dedication creates an energetic community of aspiring and talented musicians.
In this episode, J-Rod shares how he went from zero to hundreds of thousands of followers worldwide, his strategy for creating consistently engaging content, why the idea for "Got Pocket" almost never happened, and how he juggles these responsibilities with being an in-demand drummer in the music industry. This one is so good we had to break it down into two parts! Be sure to tap in for this one!
